vary for the other linked computers in your home network, depending on the
HomePNA device and the Windows® operating system installed in the specific
computer. For best results, consult the documentation that accompanied your
HomePNA device and your computer's operating system.

for shared access. Refer to the documentation that accompanied your other
computer for specific instructions.
2 On your VAIO computer, configure a network printer as follows:
1 From the desktop, click My Computer.
2 Click Control Panel and then click Printers. The Printers window
appears.
3 Click Add Printer. The Add Printer Wizard appears.
4 Click Next. Select the Network Printer option.
5 From the displayed list, choose the printer you wish to access.
